Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury on Sunday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his Ramayana jibe at her in the Parliament last week.

Chowdhury said there was no GST on laughter and she did not need anyone’s permission to laugh adding PM Modi’s remarks against her showed his mindset towards women.

She said she received huge support from women across the country after PM Modi passed a snide remark over her laughter.

"There were hashtags like #LaughlikeSurpankha, #Lolisapasse and #LaughLike RenukaChowdhury.

"I am a five-time MP and the prime minister draws a parallel of me with a negative character. But he forgets that the women today have changed and they know how to speak for themselves. This shows his mindset towards women," said Chowdhury.
